What if "I'm not ready" is just a lie we tell ourselves to avoid stepping out of our comfort zones? Join me, Jenny Lytle, RN, as I unravel the myth that holds so many of us back from pursuing our dreams. Through personal stories and honest reflections, I share my journey from hesitation to action, from contemplating writing a book to actually finishing it. This episode is a candid exploration of the fears and excuses that keep us stagnant and the small steps we can take to build the confidence needed to move forward.

I also delve into my recent experience with the Leadership Kokomo program, a nine-month journey that I almost skipped because of self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. I discuss the realization that readiness is often a state of mind and that waiting for the perfect time can be a dangerous trap. This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that our unique experiences and perspectives are valuable, and it's time to stop waiting and start doing. Whether you're considering a major career shift or a personal project, this conversation aims to inspire action and trust in your own path.

I have been hard at work getting my book written, and I'm getting so close! But I've also learned a lot - like there's a whole lot of steps that I had never even thought about when I was reading books. 

I'd love for you to join my launch team. 

My book is focused on stress relief and the need for a personalized approach, because when it comes to self-care, one size does NOT fit all. 

It is written by a nurse (me) and for nurses, but the reality is, the concepts in the book apply to everyone who has issues with feeling guilty for doing something for themselves, then frustrated and worn out because they're so stressed! 

Can you relate?? 

I'm guessing that you, like most, need this reminder.  Heck, I still have to remind myself from time to time! 

Self-care isn't selfish!

I feel so strongly about this topic! My own life experiences, my work with patients and clients, and of course, what happened with my mom, make me want to get this out there into the hands of people that really need it.  

It's a quick, easy, read.  I didn't want a long book full of more info than is easily digestible.  I want people to be able to read it, apply it, and change their lives for the better. 

But I can't do it alone. Please consider joining my book launch team.  You can find the details and register here. 

Launch team members will receive:

•  An advance copy of the book
•  Access to a private team Facebook group (where you can interact with the team and Jenny)
• The opportunity to win some cool prizes!

In exchange you'll be asked to:

•  Read the book review copy ASAP upon receipt
•  Provide feedback & engage with us via social media
•  Leave a review on Amazon / Goodreads
•  Help spread the word about the book (I'll give you tools to share)

Join me here!

"I don't have time." How often do you find yourself defaulting to this excuse? Join me, Jenny Lytle RN, in this relatable episode of  The Nurses' Breakroom as we tackle the myth of being too busy. I'll share personal stories from my own life, like managing a household without a dishwasher while raising six kids, to show how our perceptions of time can be wildly inaccurate. Learn how a simple exercise, like timing how long it actually takes to unload the dishwasher, could change your entire outlook on time management.

We'll also discuss the mental clutter created by postponing minor tasks, drawing from my own aversion to drying the shower in our new home. This episode is packed with insights that encourage you to question your beliefs about time and discover practical solutions for a more productive life. Plus, I'm thrilled to introduce a new feature that allows you to send direct text messages for feedback and suggestions, making this podcast a true community-driven experience. Let's break free from the lies we tell ourselves and reclaim the time we didn't know we had!

Ever find yourself startled by the sudden rustle of a squirrel or soothed by the melodic chirping of birds? I certainly did, amidst the gentle embrace of the woods, where I paused to let nature's symphony wash over me. Today's journey is not just a walk through the forest, but an invitation to explore the peaceful immersion that awaits when we step away from our bustling lives. Join me as we share in the simplicity of a turtle's breakfast and the quiet contemplation on a sturdy log, all while discovering the profound impact these moments can have on our well-being.

This episode is a heartfelt ode to the solace found in the natural world, a reminder that serenity lies just beyond our front doors. As your host, I'm not just narrating my experiences; I'm inviting you to share in this sensory escape. Feel the breeze, soak up the sun's warmth, and remember that we are an integral part of a grander tapestry. It's a chance to reconnect, to breathe deeply, and to carry with you a piece of the tranquility that often eludes us. May your day be as beautifully blessed as the one I'm about to describe.
